Mark your calendar. On Sunday, May 20th, the sun is going to turn into a ring of fire. It’s an annular solar eclipse—the first one in the USA in almost 18 years.
An annular eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly in front of the sun, but the lunar disk is not quite wide enough to cover the entire star. At maximum, the Moon forms a “black hole” in the center of the sun.
Marking it on my calendar.
The Death of Adonis, killed by a wild boar sent by Artemis. Adonis had interactions with several god(esse)s. He is said to have been shared by Aphrodite and Persephone. In some stories, he is struck down by Ares rather than Artemis. In some accounts, he challenges Artemis’ hunting skill. In others, he suffers due to a quarrel between Aphrodite and Artemis. Regardless, it’s interesting a figure like Adonis would be struck down by the virginal Artemis.
